The Mind-Expanding Mysticism of Fertility Astrology, and Trusting the Pre-Conception Path as FOR Us - Athena Wilder

If you haven't heard of fertility astrology or your lunar conception window, your mind will be expanded by some of this knowledge. Athena is such an open, authentic and interesting woman, you'll love this conversation and topics. Her humility, trust, humor, and true, candid honesty with herself along her pre-conception path is inspiring to me.

We talk about:

- Athena's path into herbalism (including the pop culture myth of echinacea and its actual traditional use), birthwork, and then fertility astrology

- History of fertility astrology and using its principles to potentially time conception and sex

- Hormonal fertility is most potent, and fertile moon phase is an additional but less potent access point

- The mystical connection women have with the moon and planets, and its entwinement with fertility

- Releasing what we are told/know about the rigid pattern of ovulation and examples of other animals in nature who release eggs based on the signal of sex

- Astrological influences and transits on conception

- Big 4 theories: gravitational pull on fluids, electromagnetic field that's being altered, moon light influence on hormones, the effect moon phases have on ionization - plus spiritual factors at play

- The many, many opportunities to deepen into trust that the pre-conception time and beyond offer us, as women

- "Women conceive how they live"

- Athena's own pre-conception paths: her current one full of humility, trust, and humor - along with her many layers of healing and shifting along the way

- The importance of witnessing during the motherhood continuum

- Her work with women in fertility through the lens of astrology (and more...)

- "If you don't conceive right away, its because there's something there for you."
